Deputy PM doest really mean much. It's mostly an honorific title. Presumably it softens his demotion from FCDO to MoJ.

caringcarer · 05/09/2025 20:53

Dreadful.

QueenOfHiraeth · 05/09/2025 20:57

It's hard to believe Starmer couldn't find a better candidate, even among this cabinet...

peanutbuttertoasty · 05/09/2025 21:01

He’s got dirt on Starmer. The only explanation. You could count the man’s brain cells on one hand.

KhakiTiger · 05/09/2025 21:04

And we thought the bar couldn’t get any lower than Rayner.

You can literally hear the cogs moving when he speaks.

Just proves Labour agrees with his women hating stance. As George Pig says 'dinosaur rawrrr and proud!'

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 05/09/2025 21:06

It’s a sweetener for his demotion to MOJ. It’s not a real position in the UK

This was my first thought as well. Useless idiot. What on earth is Starmer thinking?

Still flabbergasted by his idiocy RE the previous conclave to be honest.

MumOfManyAliases · 05/09/2025 21:07

What do you think OP?

roseyposey · 05/09/2025 21:08

A man can grow his own cervix or some such crap

LlynTegid · 05/09/2025 21:08

A lawyer as Justice Secretary as was his predecessor. Which is in my view a good thing. Better than some of those we had in recent years, remember Chris Grayling and Liz Truss, for example.

More concerned at the turnover of Foreign Secretaries to be honest.

As for deputy Prime Minister, that is really only a title in name most of the time.

Well it's not like Angela Rayner was overly burdened with IQ is it?

Edited

It was lower- remember Dominic Raab was at one time, also for a while Oliver Dowden.

DryAndBalmy · 05/09/2025 21:09

He’s a moron - believes that a man can grow a cervix.

ExitPursuedByABare · 05/09/2025 21:10

Ever listen to Dead Ringers on R4?

David……

RedRiverShore5 · 05/09/2025 21:12

Wasn't it Domenic Raab that had to step in as deputy when Boris had Covid so it does happen occasionally.

I think it is to soften his demotion, like a sweetener. I think it was similar with Raab as he wasn't happy about something and wanted the title

Ethelflaedofmercia · 05/09/2025 21:21

Awful man

If they think it.... it will grow.....

Absolutely not. Not a good word to say about her either. Or the lot of them frankly.

RedRiverShore5 · 05/09/2025 21:42

So will Lammy lose that big house that he entertained Vance in. What a shame now he has got his fishing licence
